Online Reviews Summary

Recent traveler experiences at Spanish Cay Airport (MYAX) indicate a generally positive sentiment for its convenience as a private airstrip, especially for those visiting the island resort. However, some reviews suggest a need for improved maintenance and value for money across the island's amenities.

What Travelers Love
  • Convenient Private Airstrip: Travelers appreciate the accessibility of the 5,000 ft private paved airstrip at Spanish Cay, capable of accommodating large turboprop airplanes and small jets. This offers direct access to the private island.
  • Efficient On-Site Customs: The airport features a customs office open seven days a week which aims to clear arrivals quickly and efficiently, streamlining the entry process into The Bahamas. Spanish Cay is recognized as an Airport of Entry.
  • Self-Sufficient Island Infrastructure: The island boasts impressive infrastructure, including its own power generation and desalination plant, which creates 25,000 gallons of water daily, contributing to a self-contained experience for visitors.
  • Good Staff and Food (at resort): While not directly about the airport, reviews for the island's marina and restaurant often praise the nice staff and very good chef, suggesting a positive service experience for resort guests.
Common Complaints
  • Maintenance Issues: Some visitors have noted a lack of maintenance at the marina and other island facilities, including issues with generators and Wi-Fi quality.
  • High Prices/Limited Value: There are mentions of overpriced fuel, slips, and general amenities on the island, with some feeling there isn't enough to do to justify the cost.
  • General Bahamas Customs Fees: A general advisory for pilots flying General Aviation aircraft to The Bahamas warns of "substantial and egregious fees" imposed by the Customs & Excise Department, which may impact the overall cost of flying into MYAX.

Spanish Cay Airport (MYAX) primarily serves as a convenient entry point for private pilots and resort guests looking for direct access to the private island. While the ease of customs and the island's self-sufficiency are definite advantages, potential visitors should be aware of reported maintenance shortcomings and the higher cost associated with a private island experience.
